Top pick: #6 (KING MOON) (4-1) - Three-year-old by "Toccet" races first off a Steve Asmussen claim (21%) and he brings him back a month later at the purchase price. New barn has worked him three times and will stretch him out in distance (18% by Asmussen).
2nd pick: #8 (Jack Be Swift) (5-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old comes off a career best when beaten just under a length racing here at this trip Oct. 25. He runs third off a 10 1/2 month layoff and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #10 (Ambition) (6-1) - He goes turf to dirt and drosp back down after tiring last out on the grass when facing tougher. His barn moves him to a new low and gelding can factor in this spot.
4th pick: #5 (Touch of Dutch) (7-2) - Gelding has been racing evenly his entire career and trainer Don Von Hemel will stretch him out around two-turns for the first time. Capable of impacting.
5th pick: #1 (Blitzer) (8-1) - He's improved a bit in his last pair and one-run type draws an inside post for the third straight time. Stretch factor.
